Another important rule of thumb: Always pee before you leave the house because you don't know when you'll be back. My day today: Left the house at 12:15, drove 2 miles to my mother-in-law's to pick up lunch, drove 1 mile back to deliver lunch to M and J. Drove 1 mile to pick R up and go to another field to get the service pickup and take it 2 miles to the farm yard. Drove 4 miles to a bin site to get an auger and took it 8 miles to town. Drove another 8 miles back to take R to another truck, 2 miles back to the farm yard to take cooler back to mother-in-law then 2 miles home with a stop along the way to get a cow out of the field and fix a gate. Arrived at home at 3:30 (3 hours later) after 30 miles.
Second go-round: Left house at 6:30, drove 2 miles to pick up mother-in-law, drove 4 miles to get service truck and move it to a different field, drove 3 miles to get father-in-law who moved service pickup, drove 2 miles to get seed truck and fertilizer truck and move them 2 miles back. Went back those 2 miles again to take in-laws home and then 5 miles to get R who had moved a truck to field for J and then back those 5 miles for him to get a different truck to take to town and I went home. Arrived home at 8:30 (2 hours later) after 25 miles.
I don't usually keep track of "dirt miles", but thought it might be interesting. So, I've spent 5 hours driving 55 miles today and haven't been more than 8 miles from home, basically going in circles. Now I need to come up with something for supper. So it goes some days......
